EXPANDING FLEET
KASI Aviation Services Inc, operates a fleet of 6 Piper PA-31 type aircraft, 3 Navajos and 3 Chieftains. Our extended list of modifications for each aircraft demonstrates our dedication to offering specialty services catered to your data acquisition needs. All our Piper aircraft can be transitioned to geophysical and geospatial survey projects and have been built and modified to minimize the aircraft induced magnetic noise to meet the standards of the Geological Survey of Canada.
Expanding into turbine operation, our newest aircraft, a Britten-Norman BN2T-4S aircraft can provide unparalleled safety, reliability and time on-line. With twin
turbine engine reliability, incredible stability and payload, this newest aircraft is purpose built for extended operations over the water or in remote areas with an endurance of up to 10 hours.
